- The magnitude sqrt(Real^2 + Imag^2) is the amplitude of the sinusoid
- The phase atan2(Imag,Real) is the phase of the sinusoid
- The frequency is assumed to be a fundamental frequency specified in the powergui block (typically 50 or 60 Hz)
Basic question on visualising AC voltage signal in scope

Im trying to visualise a sinusoidally varying voltage which is in complex form. Now I know that this is sinusoidal as it comes from an AC generator.
But when I connect it to a scope all i get is a flat line.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm guessing the model you're using is in phasor mode, as that voltage measurement is a complex phasor.
The way phasor mode works, this is expected. We can determine that, for each phase voltage you are plotting on that scope:
